Love song to Attrice Sidekick tools

  • Article

Attrice has some great TFS tools called "Sidekicks". I know I love them because

  1. They do things I need done
  2. They're simple, and
  3. I want them to have more features. (If I didn't care, I wouldn't want them to have more features).

One example: I'll work across a number of workspaces in TFS. Their status sidekick made it easy for me to hunt for all the locked files across a number of workspaces and unlock them; I never had to change workspaces to do that. That's just a beautiful tool.

You can get the latest versions of their Sidekicks here. They seem to have updated them on the 20th--the version you get is probably even better than the one I'm using.
